If you had $1 billion to change the world, what would you spend it on: easing world hunger, reducing global instability, or preserving natural resources?
Maybe you don’t have to choose: if we commit to spending $1 billion on family planning, we can make a difference in all of these areas. The cost? Less than 1/20th of 1% of the proposed 2010 budget (.03%)—less than a penny per day per American. Visit http://www.3for1.org to tell Obama that international family planning is a priority for you—and it should be one for him, too.
